		Euroradar comprises partners from the four nations in the Eurofighter programme, BAE Systems in Edinburgh, EADS in Germany, FIAR in Italy and INDRA in Spain.
		CAPTOR was selected in 1990 in competition with a radar from the then Hughes Corporation (now Raytheon) of the United States.
		The risk reduction is as a result of CAPTOR being a development of the highly successful Blue Vixen radar, designed in Edinburgh for the Royal Navy’s Sea Harrier F/A2 aircraft.

	FLUG REVUE February 2004: New radars for the latest fighters
		The Captor radar (formerly known as the ECR90) installed on the Eurofighter is undoubtedly one of the best “conventional” systems with a mechanically steered antenna.
		The Captor has the typical design of a latest generation pulse Doppler radar, on which all the parts are optimised for maximum performance combined with high reliability (well over 100 flying hours between failures, equivalent to one failure per year in normal flight operations).
		While manufacture of the first series of Captor is running according to schedule (as of November 2003, LRIs for 82 systems had been delivered), the developers have already turned their attention towards the enhancements for Tranche 2.

		Selex and the other members of the Euroradar consortium are about to enter the AESA sweepstakes with the design of several active-scanning radar sets, including the Caesar (Captor Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar), which is specifically designed to fit into the Eurofighter Typhoon.
		Caesar is built upon the Typhoon’s original Captor radar, which had a mechanically steered antenna array, with the concept that an active array can be retrofitted to this set while retaining the functionality and modes of the original Captor configuration.
		The Euroradar consortium that has developed the Caesar is headed by several firms that include SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems, EADS Defence Electronics of Germany, Galileo Avionica of Italy and Indra of Spain.

	BAE SYSTEMS delivers CAPTOR for Eurofighter Typhoon
		The CAPTOR radar software that provides Eurofighter with its swing role capability has been formally delivered by Euroradar to Eurofighter GmbH.
		Some air defence aircraft are capable of being reconfigured on the ground to undertake another role such as offensive air support, but an aircraft that can accomplish both air-to-air and air-to-surface roles on the same mission and swing between these roles instantly provides greater flexibility.
		With its 13 external store stations, CAPTOR multi-mode pulse doppler radar, data transfer links and role-common software package, the Typhoon pilot can change operational tasks in flight or undertake different roles on the same sortie.

	Eurofighter Arrives With JSF in the Mirror - By E.W. Hooten - Military Aerospace Technology
		The sensor suite is a combination of the Euroradar (BAE Systems, EADS-Deutschland, ENOSA), Captor radar, the Eurofirst (FIAR, Thales Optronics, Tecnobit) PIRATE (Passive Infra-Red Airborne Tracking Equipment) electro-optical system and the Euro-DASS (BAE Systems, Elettronica, INDRA) Defensive Aircraft Survivability Suite (DASS).
		Captor is a pulse-Doppler sensor operating in I/J-band (8-20 GHz) with slotted waveguide antenna, which provides multimode air-search-and-track, single air target tracking, air-to-surface tracking/ranging, ground moving target indication and sea surface search capability.
		A modular improvement of the mechanically scanned Captor to electronic scanning is one idea which uses an improved digital signal processor in Tranche 2 and active phased array antenna in Tranche 3.

	AESA Radar to Be Trialed on UK's GR4 Tornados By 2007 - Military Photos
		The Captor Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (CAESAR) demonstrator — in which Eurofighter firms have invested “at least 8 million pounds” ($14 million), according to one industrial source — flew for three hours in the United Kingdom on Feb. 24 on a BAC1-11 test-bed aircraft, Selex SandAS said in a March 2 statement.
		CAESAR is the result of three years of research by the Euroradar group of Selex in the United Kingdom, EADS Defence Electronics of Germany, Galileo Avionica of Italy and INDRA of Spain, with the bulk of the funding coming from the British and German firms.
		Paul Holbourn, capabilities director at Selex’s Edinburgh plant, said the Captor processor could be retained during an upgrade to an AESA format.

		The SU has an absolutely massive RCS, whereas the Typhoon is well documented as having lots of RCS reduction measures that put it in the same ballpark as the Rafale and the Super Hornet.
		And there's nothing wrong with the Typhoon's CAPTOR radar in terms of pure detection performance; it will easily see a massive radar target like the SU well before the SU can see the Typhoon, regardless of which set has the greatest absolute range.
		By widening the axis one of the flights of SU-30 could even approach outside the CAPTORS detection azmith and elevation and execute a stealthy attack.

		The first was the spirited and exciting flying display from the Italian single seat prototype, DA7, which quite simply stole the show and drew applause every day.
		The second was the delivery by the Euroradar consortium of the CAPTOR radar software which gives the aircraft its swing-role capability.
		CAPTOR contains both air-to-air and air-to-ground fully operational software, enabling the pilot to switch from one to the other role and back again during a single mission, greatly enhancing the Eurofighter's effectiveness and flexibility, as it means the aircraft does not need to be reconfigured on the ground.
